if it's an odd number, nobody has to drop out, you just have to make a little group. With a pair, A would send to B, and B would send to A. in a group, A would send to B, B would send to C, C would send to A...

I'm lauren, i'm 18, and i do a bunch of different stuff... mostly, artsy... i pretend that i can draw... I spend most of my time crocheting, writing my book, or playing New Super Mario Bros. because I'm not in college yet and i don't have a job. (read: lazy)... I really like to learn how to do new stuff, but i can never settle on one thing that i want to perfect my skills at.

craig... hmm... i like. the rubber lures seem kind of icky... like to have them there by your neck... all wiggly... and squirmy...

and the painting... was maybe a koi, toward the right side, swimming to the top of the canvas, and lots of water kind of swirled around it, but the canvas wasn't completely painted... and it was looking down on the little fish...

i was inspired by a painting of a gold or yellow-orange something fish with this gorgeous aqua background that i would swear was posted in the more art, less craft area, but when i went back to find it, no such masterpiece seemed to exist. but here's the necklace it inspired...

i lucked out when i went with my mother to a bead show at the cobb galleria in atlanta and managed to find that little fish from a place called Elephant eye beads. i think he's the cutest, and i feel inclined to name him...

i do weird stuff in cars, like if i go through a light that's yellow but turns red before i'm through the intersection, i kiss my fingers and tap the roof... and when i use to ride the bus to band competitions in high school, we would put a finger on a screw (to "keep the bus from falling apart") and make a wish while crossing railroad tracks... i hold my breath over bridges...

i'm completely different about bad dreams though... i always went by the wish principle, that if you say it outloud, it won't come true. so i don't tell anyone about good dreams, but i have to tell someone about bad dreams.
